Chapter 17: The Fall of the Royal Family

"Squeak ~ boom ~ " At dawn, the city gate opened, and some sleepy guards, still snorting, and some lazily stationed on both sides of the gate, sat on the preparations for registration.

In the past few days, because of the disappearance, they have been running around and have been seriously deprived of sleep.

Today, there are many huge caravans outside the city, and they are lining up in an orderly manner. They came to deliver the goods, and the orders from the City Lord's Mansion and several families made them rush to make a good profit.

The blood stains on the armor of many of the guards had not yet dried, and the blood on some of them had not yet dissipated, and the long road between South China City and the surrounding cities had been washed with blood, especially clean.

The cargo boxes on a few carriages were a little worn, and there were dark black blood stains on them, which could not be wiped off.

After registering, the huge convoy began to enter the city, attracting the attention of many farmers who went out of the city to work in agriculture. The smell of blood on the face dispersed many people.

Seeing that everyone retreated, these businessmen didn't care, laughed, although it stinks, but this is the smell of money!

......

"Young master, the caravan has entered the city, some merchants have gone to the family's side, and they have also worked a lot of things along the way, and they have brought a lot more goods this time than expected. Shan Xiong came to the study to report to Guo Qiuran.

"Can you find out where the goods are coming from? Check if anyone else is involved. The young man behind the bookcase frowned and said.

"Don't be so troublesome, I just passed by to take a look, they probably know that this time South China City is in huge demand, and there should be a lot of mountain bandits and robbers along the way. Anyway, you don't need money, just recruit guards or something. Perhaps, it is not impossible to destroy some blacksmith villages, hehe. A limping man in a black robe walked into the study and smiled.

Shan Xiong looked at the person and gave him an uncomfortable feeling. Not knowing what to do makes it difficult for him to trust the other party.

"Butler Shan, send a few mansions to check it out. Report everything in detail. Guo Qiuran didn't let Shan Xiong continue to spy on the black robe.

"Yes!" the subordinate retired. ”

When the housekeeper left expressionlessly, the black robe tried to kneel.

"How's it going?"

"It has been done, and none of the more than 2,000 people in the Wang family in South China City have been spared. ”

"What about the remnants outside the city?"

"I have searched the souls, and I already know where they live, and I have just sent someone to them. ”

"I'll give you one more task. Guo Qiuran was silent for a while and said, "Find out the people behind the disappearance of Ferry Village and South China City." Can it be done?"

The black robe knelt on the ground and did not speak.

"It's done, if you don't die this time, you don't have to come back. Guo Qiuran said lightly.

The black robe suddenly raised his head, looked at the young man he thought was very familiar with in surprise, and then slowly fell to the ground: "I will do my best." ”

"You are my teacher, you know me best, I hope you don't let me down, go down. After finishing speaking, Guo Qiuran once again picked up the pen and corrected the file of the table case.

"The minions retired. The black robe struggled to support himself and limped outside.

"Help me bring some fruit from outside the city, it's good to be the same one. It's time to think about it. The young man in the room paused and said.

The sun shone on the black robe, he raised his head, shielded the sun with his hand, as if remembering something, smiled, and the smile under the sun was a little bright.

He lowered his head and pulled his hat, and limped out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Only Guo Qiuran was left alone in the study......

The sound of "knock knock" footsteps came from a distance, and the city guards looked into the distance, and a force appeared on the avenue, a neat phalanx, plus standard armor, made them look like unbreakable beasts, and the oncoming evil qi made the people at the city gate feel suffocated.

Looking at the approaching troops, they wore white scarves and carried more than 100 stretchers, and the resident caravans gave way.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is this?" asked the city guard as his throat dried up a little as he registered the troops.

"We were ordered to come to the king's house to ask for an explanation. The officer shouted. It caused quite a stir.

"What happened to the Wang family?"

"There is a conflict between the Wang family and the legion?"

"So many stretchers, I can't see what they are when the white cloth covers them!"

"It's so obvious that I can't understand it? These soldiers are wearing white scarves on their heads, and these are probably dead soldiers! Alas, I don't know how many people are going to shed tears for these good men. ”

"Although there are a lot of death pensions in the army, but if the people are gone, they are gone, and no amount of money can bring the dead back to life?"

"This is unavoidable in the army, but looking at this posture, it should be caused by the Wang family!

"Hehe, this kind of thing is not much that the family has done? Forget it, now I have to follow to see what the Wang family is doing. If there is no explanation, I would better let my children farm, farming is better than being a soldier!"

"Let's take a look!"

"Let's go!"

As if he did not see a large number of people following behind the troops, the officer slowed down. In this way, when he arrived at the door of the king's house, the army was already followed by many indignant residents.

Many of them have children who are soldiers in their families.

"Knock knock" Looking at the closed door of the Wang family, the officer frowned and patted the huge Tianmu door of the Wang family hard.

Is the Wang family unwilling to be responsible and unwilling to admit it?

"Commander Lin Feng, come to the Wang family on the order of General Zhou, and hope that the Wang family will make a report!" Lin Feng took a few steps back and shouted.

After waiting for a long time and not responding, Lin Feng's face was a little bad, this Wang family is closed, shameless?

The body of his brother is still here, not buried, and exposed in vain? Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed, and he didn't care about coming out and was asked to calm down.

"The Wang family, is it that my brother died tragically at the hands of the elders of the royal family, and there is no explanation!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the people around him seemed to be ignited, hiding behind the troops, and began to curse the Wang family.

At this time, on the second floor of a nearby restaurant, Rong Qingbai and others were looking at the scene in front of them, they were the first group of people to enter the city. The people of Ruoshui Pavilion and the Paradise Palace are still cultivating and have not come.

"General Zhou is worthy of being able to command an army at a young age, and his control of the situation is still very powerful. Ryusuke sighed.

Looking at Bai Xiangtian's puzzled gaze, he sighed that the family probably didn't understand anything, but still explained, "I don't know why General Zhou waited until today to send someone to ask for an explanation, but when the troops entered the city, they were building momentum, guiding the people's hearts, guiding public opinion, no matter how successful or bad this matter is, the Wang family has lost the hearts of the people in South China City." Although the Wang family may not care, once they compete with the City Lord's Mansion or other families, there will always be someone who will bite it. There are many wounds, and a behemoth like the Wang family will also fall. ”

"Then the Wang family explained that the other party didn't know, saying that the person was expelled from the family, or was deceived by treachery?" Bai Xiangtian said as if he remembered something.

"No one will believe it, not to mention that the corpse of the elder of the Wang family was brought over, and the Wang family can't get out of the relationship. Even if they say that the elder is deluded, they don't know it, and no one will approve of them. Most of the men in the army come from these residents, and even if it wasn't done by the Wang family, they all have to say that the Wang family did it. ”

"The family is already jealous, and the family that seems to be beautiful, I don't know how many people want to replace it, and these people are just the most powerless group of people. Nowadays, many of these people may be afraid that their children will die in infighting, but more people still join in the fun, wanting to see the Wang family make a fool of themselves, if it is good, it would be better. If there is no one to take the lead, these people are good residents, and if there is a leader, they will turn into pioneers and bite each other hard. Lin Wanrong looked at the indignant people downstairs and shook her head.

"Is this good for them? Aren't you afraid of the Wang family's revenge?" Bai Xiangtian said curiously.

"What are you afraid of, these are all chess pieces in the eyes of the family, and they are good to serve when they are used, and they will not be put in their eyes when they are not used. You can take advantage of these people, and so can others. If you want to punish them because they are used, you will look up to them too much. The family is not the city lord's mansion, and it doesn't matter whether the other party is a wall grass or not. Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

Looking at Lin Wanrong and Long Fu, Bai Xiangtian didn't know what to say for a while.

"Third brother, in fact, it's good to look at it normally, many things are not like this on the surface, you feel that these people are being used, you sympathize with them, what if they are willing to be used? ”

Bai Xiangtian was silent, he still couldn't accept this kind of thing.

"It's a little strange that the Wang family doesn't explain, it's too calm, in other words, they don't take General Zhou in their eyes. It's kind of stupid. Seeing that the officer Lin Feng began to act, Long Fu couldn't help but secretly sigh at the stupidity of the Wang family.

The three of them watched the excitement interestingly, and only Rong Qingbai drank tea quietly.

......

"Sir, the other party is really too deceitful!" Lin Feng's adjutant couldn't hold his breath either.

"That's it, since the Wang family doesn't invite us in, then we'll go in by ourselves!" Lin Feng squeezed his fist hard, "Come and smash the door open for me!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, ten people rushed to the gate of the royal family with a giant hammer.

Seeing that the soldiers were about to slam on the door, cheers were heard from the surrounding crowd.

But contrary to the expected idea, the soldier did not meet resistance and smashed the gate open at once. This made Lin Feng stunned.

But the next scene made everyone's pupils shrink.

A huge formation shrouded the inner courtyard of the Wang family.

The eyes of the head of the Wang family were nailed to the rockery behind the gate, Wang Cheng, who once gave people a burly image, is now scattered, leaving only skin and bones, and there are dozens of corpses near him who are also nailed to it, looking miserable.

The lake below the rockery is now bloody, and countless corpses float on the surface of the lake.

With a slight "click", the formation collapsed, and a stench of blood swept towards the stunned people outside the door.

"Gross!"

The cheers were long gone, now they were vomiting, and they only felt dizzy and nauseous.

"Come on, follow me in to investigate, the rest of the people evacuate the crowd, surround the Wang family, send someone to inform the general and the city lord's mansion, and send the brother back to the barracks by the way, so that he can be buried alive!" Lin Feng was not a battle-hardened officer, and issued orders in an orderly manner.

The chaotic scene was effectively controlled.

"Finished reading, drinking tea?" Rong Qingbai looked at the three people who sat down and said with a not very good face.

"Big brother, did you guess it a long time ago?" several people looked at him with some resentment.

"I said that the Dexterous Pavilion is proficient in formations, and I feel that there is a large isolation array inside the Wang family, but I really don't know that there is such a scene inside. More than I thought...... It's even more disgusting. ”

Isn't it cruel at this time? It seems that the entire Wang family has been soaked in the lake. Some residents fainted when they saw it, which is called disgusting?

Several people looked at Rong Qingbai, who was still calmly drinking tea, a little speechlessly.

However, what they didn't know was that it was really disgusting in Rong Qingbai's eyes, a disgusting feeling that permeated the soul.

The resentment emanating from the Wang family was too deep, which made him a little uncomfortable, this kind of scene he had only experienced in the mass grave on the battlefield, but the strength was strong at that time, and the feeling was not so profound, plus Wang Cheng was a master, and the resentment exuded was several times that of others combined.

Of course, you still have to install it. Anything else is very embarrassing, and I also want to save face.

......

"Report to the general, the news from South China City is here. Lao Liu came to the big tent, and Zhou Zhengxuan was pacing back and forth at this time, which showed that he was also very anxious.

"Say!"

"The Wang family died in the house, Wang Cheng was nailed to the rockery, and a crime was written in blood on the ground of the Wang family's hall. Lao Liu calmed down and said.

A top family in South China City was slaughtered overnight, and even Wang Cheng, who was suspected of being the Nine Heavens Mirror, died, and I don't know what happened to the children of the Wang family who escaped outside.

Hearing Lao Liu's words, Zhou Zhengxuan's facial expression, I don't know if it was an illusion, Lao Liu felt that his general breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lao Liu, you personally go to the palace to assist the city lord's mansion in the investigation. ”

"Did you bring back the bodies of those brothers?"

"It's been sent back to the camp. ”

"Remember to bury them, and give them double the pension. ”

"Lin Feng has already arranged for someone to be buried. ”

"It seems that he is complaining to me again~" Zhou Zhengxuan let out a long sigh.

Lao Liu looked at him, didn't say anything, and didn't know what to say, this matter was indeed something the general did wrong. He didn't understand why even his dead brother should be used. He didn't understand! This actually chilled the hearts of many people.

In the past, generals were not like this, they loved soldiers like children! Now, I guess they also have a hard time.

"If the general is okay, then the subordinate will retreat. ”

"Okay. Zhou Zhengxuan waved his hand behind his back.

He didn't go into an explanation, in fact, he knew that many people needed an explanation. In fact, he was also waiting for an explanation.

"Young City Lord, did you do it?"

......

"Young master, the Wang family was destroyed, and Wang Cheng, the head of the Wang family, died tragically in the house. Shan Xiong came to the study.

Guo Qiuran sighed, put down his pen and got up and said, "You can go to the palace with me to have a look." ”

"Yes, young master!"

Walking out of the study, the sun shone on Guo Qiuran's body, a little dazzling, he blocked it with his hand, got used to it for a while, turned to Shan Xiong and said, "Butler Shan, is the food in the treasury still sufficient?"

"Sufficient!"

"Remember to send someone to General Zhou to send some over. ”

"Yes!"
